Engine characteristics K9K.

Reliability, problems and repair engine K9K

This turbodiesel was first shown in 2001 by car Renault Clio 1.5 DCI, then it began to put it in everything that at least a little moves. He replaced 1.9 liter total F8Q. The cylinder block K9K cast iron, the crankshaft is installed inside it with a piston stroke 80.5 mm, the length of the connecting rods is 133.75 mm, the diameter of the pistons is 76 mm, and their compression height is 56 mm. In sum, we obtain almost 1.5 liters of working volume, to be accurate, then 1.46 liters.

Aluminum Cylinder Cylinder head is monomial and has 2 valves per cylinder.Diameter inlet valves 33.5 mm, exhaust valves - 29 mm, and 6 mm valve rod thickness.
Adjusting valves on K9K is required every 50 thousand km. Clauses of valves for cold: inlet 0.2 mm, Issue 0.4 mm.
The GDM system applies toothed belt, its service life of 90 thousand km. Since 2004, the interval has increased to 120 thousand km, and from 2008 to 160 thousand km.

The weakest version of this K9K was equipped with a BorgWarner KP35 turbine, pressing pressure 1 bar. Here is the Injection of Common Rail from Delphi. Power of this engine 65 hp At 4000 rpm, torque is 160 nm at 2000 rpm.
A similar version with an intercooler and pressurized pressure 1.2 Bar had a capacity of 80 hp. At 4000 rpm and torque of 185 nm at 2000 rpm.
The most powerful modification of the diesel engine was equipped with a BorgWarner BV39 turbine with a variable geometry, which inflates 1.25 bar, and Common Rail here from Continental / Siemens, the pressure in the Ramp was increased from 1400 to 1600 bar. Such a motor develops 100 hp at 4000 rpm, and torque 200 nm at 1900 rpm.

In 2004, the production of second generation of Diesel K9K began, which moved to the Euro-4 standard. The compression ratio decreased to 15.9, injection was finalized and graduation system. Also raised the service life of the timing belt, and now it is necessary to change it once every 120 thousand km. The term for replacing the oil is increased to 20 thousand km.
The most negligible version has a capacity of 65 hp. At 4000 rpm, torque is 160 nm at 1750 rpm. Power of the same motor with an intercooler 85 hp at 3750 rpm, and torque 200 nm at 2000 rpm. Top Renault K9K develops 105 hp At 3750 rpm, torque is 240 nm at 1750 rpm.

The third generation of the motor was published in 2008 and began to comply with the ecological standards of Euro-5. The compression ratio was reduced to 15.2, engineers were finalized eGR system, Delivered the diesel filter, increased the service life of the timing belt to 160 thousand km, and the oil replacement interval stretched to 30 thousand km.
The version without intercooler received injection from Bosch and develops 75 hp. At 4000 rpm, torque is 160 nm at 1750-2500 rpm. The same, but with an intercooler 90 hp At 4000 rpm, torque 200 nm at 1750-2500 rpm.
Most powerful model It has a capacity of 110 hp At 4000 rpm, torque is 240 nm at 1750-2750 rpm.

The fourth version of K9K was shown in 2012 and it is sharpened under the Euro-6 standard. The degree of compression has slightly increased (up to 15.5), changed EGR, the sump filter, oil pump, piezo-forming, added the start-stop system. Characteristics of weak version Such: Power 75 hp At 4000 rpm, torque 200 nm at 1750-2500 rpm. Analogue with the intercooler developed 90 hp at 4000 rpm, torque 220 nm at 1750-2500 rpm.
The top model was replaced with a turbine on BorgWarner BV38 with a variable geometry, which allows to get 110 hp At 4000 rpm and torque 260 nm at 1750-2750 rpm. Such an engine is known as Mercedes OM607.

Since 2011, the engine K9K 1.5 DCI is replaced with a newer 1.6-liter Diesel R9M.

Problems and malfunctions of diesel engines Renault K9K

1. The main disease Diesels K9K is connecting rod liners. Due to the peculiarities of their design, due to the too large interval between oil changes, due to the use of low-quality oil, after 100-150 thousand km, there is a very high risk of grinding inserts. It is better not to wait for this moment, immediately check and replace them after 100 thousand km or after buying a car. We are also a good (not fake) oil and change it at least once every 10 thousand km.
2. Many complaints about engines with Common Rail from Delphi, in which, due to poor fuel, quickly fails and pulls up the nozzles. It is recommended to change here fuel filter Once at 8-10 thousand km on the original and pour only good fuel. Such a problem K9k with COMMON Rail from Siemens is not, but this does not mean that you can merge a diesel fuel from the nearest tractor. Here you need to change filters every 10 thousand km.

The rest of the engine is normal and has good reliability. The term of the turbine is high and it may be enough for the entire service life of the engine, but the turbine ahead of time can kill particles from the wear of the liners that have fallen into the oil.
Also worth it once a year to clean the EGR valve from Nagara.
If pouring is not bad fuel, good oil, on time to change it, timely and efficiently serviced, the engine resource K9K easily exceeds 300 thousand km. Often, these diesel engines die on runs about 200 thousand km and causes can be different: poor service twisted mileage, or both immediately.

Look for the motor number here in this place:

Engine tuning K9K.

Chip tuning

Want to add some power? Drive to tuning company and pour more aggressive firmware, it will turn your 75 hp. or 90 forces in 115 hp, and torque will exceed 250 nm. Motors with a capacity of 110 hp Senched in 130-135 hp, torque exceeds 300 nm. This refers to the 4th generation motors, produced after 2012.
The last 3rd version (2008-2012) has the indicators a little worse. The most powerful modification of 110 hp Sold in 130 hp, torque 300 nm, and a model by 75 hp and 90 hp You can dig up to 110 hp And torque will increase to 240+ nm.
The older 2nd generation (2004-2008) has the same indicators, except that the weakest model has a limit of 90 hp. and moment in 200 nm.
The very first k9k, issued in the period 2001-2004, has almost the same potential. The most rude modification is tuning up to 85 hp, the moment is 200 nm.

Oddly enough, but quite budget and modest in the configuration, the Renault Duster crossover has become one of the most popular SUVs in the post-Soviet space. Valued both cars from dealerships and used secondary market cars.

New "Duster" on the diesel

Especially successful is the diesel "Renault Duster" 4x4 with a volume of 1.5. What is the attractive version of Duster-II?

The new model has a number of differences from its predecessors. The body design has changed (the SUV has become even more brutal), and the salon (the space style of the interior found a combination with comfort for any passenger). However B. specifications "Duster" is not observed in the Diesel innovation.

For motorists in Europe, this car is released under the Dacia logo, but in Russia remains under the Renault brand with the branded emblem on the grille. It is worth considering the updated "Duster" of the second generation.

Body

In the idea of \u200b\u200bdesigners, the front part of the body was to undergo the biggest changes: the bumper was planned to be made even more massive. However, after some tests, it turned out that the angle of the congress significantly decreases with such a volumetric bumper, and the SUV ceases to be an SUV. Therefore, it was decided only to underestimate the front clearance. But the decor was added: chrome elements and a powerful air intake.

The lattice of the radiator did not touch much - it remained the same as in the first generation models, they removed only a chrome strip. Instead of her on a rash, a whole chrome pattern with a signature logo in the middle is banging.

On the hood increased the height of the stamping faces, which made it more streamlined.

Side surfaces that had smooth bends earlier, now got a cut along the level of door handles with the transition to the rear wings. It gave an additional visual volume of rear arches and the aggressiveness of the entire corps. "Renault Duster" began to look like a sports SUV, and wide doors made it even more overall.

The back also changed dramatically: she became more loud and got a line at the top of the lanterns. If a black inscription Duster was shown before the chrome element, then in the new model letters acquired silver color on a black background. Over the glass installed an anti-cycle, which has a smooth transition from the roof. The bumper appeared two exhaust lining of the square shape.

There remained unchanged thresholds, about which legs are dirty when landing in a car. The entire bottom of the traditionally finished with black plastic. There are no more changes in the body.

Interior

The salon has changed dramatically and, definitely, for the better. In its creation, more expensive and high-quality materials were applied, the mistakes that took place in previous versions of the Renault Duster were removed.

Chairs have become wider. They appeared electrical adjustments of the backrest and seat position and heating.

For convenience, the driver changed dashboard: Now it is completely electronic, but compact and more informative. The steering wheel can change its position in two projections. The seventhime multimedia monitor on the center console displays as data of security systems (for example, video from standard side and rear cameras), so navigation information.

By the way, in the new "Duster" applied a modified security system, since the previous version is considered outdated and non-functional.

Significantly increased noise insulation open spaceWhat noticeably added comfort during trips.

The luggage compartment is quite spacious: 1650 m 3 taking into account the folded back rear seats. If desired, the driver can relax in such a spacious trunk, albeit not with home comfort. Under the floor there is a full-size outlet.

Optics

The framework of fog headlamps changed their shape to rectangular. They were raised higher than solved the problem of constant pollution.

Rear headlamps installed without a company drawing. Their dimensions are reduced, but made trapezoids. The lamps left halogen, but the developers decided not to use LEDs.

Transmission

Unfortunately, the new diesel "Duster" is represented only with a mechanical 6-tiberate gearbox.

The transmission is programmed into three modes of operation, which the driver himself can choose depending on the state of the road:

• AUTO mode - assumes the work of the "Duster" suspension on the diesel fully driveWhen all four wheels become leading. It is used in bumpy areas without road surface (field, forest belt).
• Lock mode - increases torque for better clutch (blocks differential). It is convenient to overcome areas with a heterogeneous coating (asphalt and sand, ice and risky snow).
• Mode "4x2" - Makes the front axle leading. Used in city ride or on the highway.

Suspension

Universal joy of changes in the design of the suspension did not appear. According to the car owners, it fully meets all the requirements and does not need to be refineed.

The front of the suspension is independent, such as Mac-Fersson (two transverse lever, one of which is replaced by a telescopic shock absorbing rack). Such a design effectively quenches the body fluctuations and increases the stability of the car in the extreme driving mode. In the rack set gas shock absorberimproving grip with road coating. Front brakes - ventilated discs.

Rear suspension is also independent. It consists of levers with cylindrical twisted springs and telescopic shock absorbers. Wipers when braking and overclocking the car are adjusted by longitudinal levers, and oscillations due to the irregularities of the road - transverse. Rear brakes - drums.

Podcast space

Hood cover equipped gas stubbornThat is very convenient, but not typical of cars of this price category.

The location of the elements under the hood has not changed: convenient access to air filter. Its lid is attached only by two latches, which allows you to replace this spare part yourself. Salon filter Changes from the glove box. Capacity for washing fluid is located in the lattice from the passenger side. Battery and fuse block are also easily accessible.

"Duster" (diesel). Engine characteristics

The 1.5 DCI engine is considered one of the best in its class because of the torque in 240 nm on low revs and tangible efficiency. This is a row four-cylinder eight-flaped motor with a timing belt. "Renault Duster" (diesel) works quite quietly and without vibrations.

Its main difference in the upgraded turbine, injection system COMMON RAIL. (Fuel supply takes place for one working clock), and increased pressure in the fuel ramp. Due to these innovations, the engine power increased from 90 liters. from. up to 109 liters. p., At the same time, the fuel consumption remained the same: 5 liters on the highway and 6 l within the city.

Acceleration up to 100 km / h occurs in 13.2 seconds. Not a sports car, of course, but for the SUV is quite acceptable. Maximum speedstated by the manufacturer - 167 km / h.

The volume of the tank is 50 liters. As the manufacturer declares, it is enough to drive about 937 km.

Equipment and prices

Since the diesel 1.5 DCI was installed only on Expression and Lux \u200b\u200bPrivilege, it is worth considering the difference in the "stuffing" of these two cars.

The difference in the price of "Duster" on the diesel engine in the configuration of the basic versions is approximately 100 thousand. What is in the same version, what is not in another? What is the difference between the standard set of these cars?

Expression version:

1. Decorative linings and rails of black color.
2. Alloy wheels Thems Black 16 ".
3. Light tinting of all brakes.
4. Fabric salon. Combined gray and black colors.
5. Two headrest rear armchairs.

Additions for this version:

• coloring in the colors of "metallic";
• eRA-GLONASS systems;
• additional passenger airbags and third headrest in the back seat;
• eSP Stability Dynamic System and HSA Anti-Paths;
• ashtray and cigarette lighter;
• multimedia navigation Media NAV and a subwoofer joystick;
• fog lights and cruise control;
• aCONIT 16 alloy discs.

Expression version costs about 900 thousand rubles. With a complete set of additions, it will cost 1 million.

The Lux Privilege version has a basic set of grace and costs from 1 million:

1. Chrome decorative linings and rails.
2. Decorative pad on the exhaust pipe.
3. Thema Black 16 alloy discs.
4. Rear windows are strongly tinted.
5. Leather seats and steering wheel.
6. Cruise control and on-board computer.
7. Fog lights and glignation of the glove box.
8. External temperature sensor.
9. Heated front seats.
10. Rear electric windows.
11. Pulse window lifter from the driver's side.
12. Adjusting the driver's seat height.
13. Rear parking sensors.
14. Passenger airbags and front side.
15. Three headrest in the rear seat.

Additional options:

• coloring "Metallic";
• system "ERA-GLONASS";
• eSP and HSA systems;
• cigarette lighter and ashtray;
• multimedia navigation Media NAV with a submissive joystick and rear view camera.

The installation of all submitted additions on LUX Privilege will cost about 70 thousand rubles. Thus, it turns out that the difference in the cost, if these versions of the car are fully equipped, it will decrease.

Another additional feature for both versions is metal protection on a benzobac, gearbox and radiator; Plastic overlays on the front thresholds and rear arches. It will cost about 10 thousand rubles.

It would be wonderful if this feature was included in the Basic package. Taking into account the fact that "Duster" is all the same crossover, and it is assumed to ride both gravel and dirt - reinforced protection would be by the way. All disadvantages in the reviews of the owners of Duster on the dieselle talk about it.

Crush test

The new "Duster" (Diesel) passed the crash test for 3 points according to EURO-NCUP testimony (European Committee for Independent Car Safety).

What flaws of the designers were identified?

Security for adult passengers and driver

For front collision At a speed of 64 km / h, the passenger compartment remained unavigible, however, an arbitrarily swollen fifth door significantly influenced the safety assessment of the crossover. According to the testimony of sensors on the mannequin, conclusions were made that the likelihood of injuries of internal organs in the sternum region is quite high.

The risk to damage the legs to the driver is only the design of the panel (but it depends on the position of the seat and dimensions of the person).

For side shock At a speed of 50 km / h from a passenger side, a driver's door opened suddenly.

During the strike of a pillar at a speed of 29 km / h with the driver's side, no door opened open, but the sensors were recorded serious compression of the driver Ryoember and possible damage Neck.

The blow from behind showed a high probability of injury of the cervical department of both the driver and passengers.

Safety of children

Here "Duster" received the maximum score. A mannequin of a child with a frontal collision dismissed forward to the norm. In the lateral strike, the mannequin remained in the holding chair. The sensors did not recorded any life-threatening overload. The only nuance is that the mannequin sensors of the one and a half year old kid had the best indicators than the sensors of a tree-year-old baby's mannequin.

To transport children on the front passenger seat in the "Duster" is quite acceptable, only you need to turn off the front airbag. The trouble is that there is no indicator that indicates, this pillow is active or not.

Safety pedestrians

This crash test "Duster" failed completely. Front bumper In general, the pedestrian foot protection is not adapted. The hood is able to protect the head of the child, at the race at him, but not an adult head.

Pluses in ensuring security

Additional Points "Duster" scored:

• indicator of an unwrapped seat belt;
• pretensioners of the front seats, their load limiters;
• side and front airbags;
• integrated curtains.

After views of the video crash test "Duster" and publishing its results, most of the opinions of motorists agreed in one: considering that "Duster" is budget cars, you should not wait for high percent and five stars from it.

Test Drive "Duster" (Diesel)

Since "Duster" is an SUV, then it is necessary to test it in appropriate conditions. Deep loose snow, rolled in it, rut or holly - perfectly suitable for the test. In such conditions, most cars are simply branded in a snowdrift. "Duster" easily copes with these difficulties, it is worth only to turn on the first transmission (it acts as a reduction) and block the coupling. The feature of the MCPP "Duster" is in the downward first transmission, so that you can freely touch and recruit acceleration from the second.

All cons in the reviews of the owners of Duster (diesel) about the box are reduced to one: the transmission is rather short. The speed of 50 km / h is already a fifth gear. The sixth switches, reaching 65-70 km / h and accelerate to the maximum allowable. In the city ride mode, this is not entirely convenient.

The machine with full load weighs 1835 kg - it is not so much, but the engine "Duster" on a diesel engine is 109 liters. from. Displays 240 Nm of torque. This combination makes the motor crap, but economical. He will suit any driver with a calm temperament.

The French are considered masters in the manufacture of diesel engines. If you compare their motors with engines, which are produced in Germany, the German will be technologically and more economical, but their main minus in a very narrow operating range - from 1,700 to 3000 revolutions. In French engines he is much wider. The peak of torque accounts for 1750 revolutions, and the maximum power develops by almost 4000. That is, the operating range of the French engine is from 1500 to 4000 revolutions. The engine "Duster" on the diesel engine is very responsive to the gas pedal.

The speed of 105-110 km / h is achieved at 2500 revolutions. For 3000 turns - this is a speed of 120 km / h.

Do not go at a speed above 120-130 km / h. It overloads the motor, leads to increased flow Fuel in the "Duster" (diesel) and a decrease in its resource. Power supply disappears under the pedal. At a speed of 130 km / h, the car goes easily and confidently.

The suspension is perfectly holding the road, quenching irregularities and bumps. It is not too soft and not too hard.

Responsive steering. There are no delays or non-informative failures. The system against drifts is triggered in a timely manner, signaling this indicator on the dashboard.

Noise isolation is not ideal, but it fully complies with the budget of the car itself.

Renault Duster

Some motorists complain about the unacceptable price "Renault Duster" 1.5 (diesel), believe that there can not be a budget diesel car, albeit all-wheel drive, so much. However, many owners of this auto celebrate its endurance and fairly inexpensive service.

What breakdowns most often appear during the operation of the Diesel "Renault Duster" 4x4? Now they will be discussed.

All disadvantages in the reviews of the owners of Duster (diesel) mainly relate to the quality of fuel at refueling. Foreign impurities - dirt, water and sulfur - clog the nozzles, lead to their oxidation and failure.

As for the electrician diesel "duster" with a full drive, then there is a probability of failure: on the first two transversions, the LOCK mode is turned off. This malfunction can be eliminated using the programmer yourself. Also, the causes of oil electric pump can be the cause. It is worth replacing gear oil in the coupper.

Defects in the development of "Duster" - this is no transmission sensors and dispensing box. Therefore, it is possible to find out whether everything is fine with the manual transmission, you can only on the lift.

The suspension "Renault Duster" is pretty straightened, but domestic roads are too bumpy. Most often suffer shock absorbing racks, silent blocks levers, swivel and hub bearings. They can be replaced independently, guided by the instruction manual.

Opinions of car owners

Many drivers noted quite low flow Fuel from "Renault Duster", which fully corresponds to the manufacturer's declared at a speed of 80 km / h on the fifth gear. The clearance is perfect for off-road.

The trunk is so spacious that three people and shopping can fit freely. Fishing lovers are especially pleasantly surprised. IN luggage compartmentWith the folded backs of the back chairs, you can stay on vacation.

Armchairs are very comfortable. On long journeys, the spin does not get tired of long seating. The adjustment of the steering wheel on the flight accounted for people with high height.

Disadvantages in the "Duster" on the dieselle also found. These are mainly the nuances of the cabin. For example: the joystick adjusting the side mirrors of the rear view is located under the lever manual brakes, adjusting the seat back - on the right under the armrest.

The magnetic screen tapes the sun with a bright sun. The location of the Bluetooth microphone is such that it is necessary to talk either very loudly or reach it. The screen of the side computer is quite large, but the information at a time is output. It is necessary to constantly switch from some data to others.

The rear wings are so dressed that the LCP on them very quickly scratches everyone that crashes from under the hollows while driving.

"Duster" (Diesel) in the reviews of the owners, all disadvantages changed to the advantages, when the quality of the suspension and the power of such a low-income engine has demonstrated; When spare parts for it began to be sold in almost all auto shops, and the repair was not so expensive.

Renault Laguna III Grandtour 2009 1.5 DCI 110HP K9K780, without a particulate filter, fuel Continental, I don't know the package, but there is almost everything except skin: ABS, ESP, ASR, Cruise control, onboard computer, navigation, all pribluda to audio, electric handbrake , 6 airbags, etc.

Before the December fall of the ruble of 2014, he changed its Focus Form 2 on this machine. The focus did not want to be sold for a long time, although the price set the divine, apparently the people waited for something to end all this crisis swing. In the end, changed with a surcharge on the lagoon. This car I wanted a long time, I looked closely from summer, but fresh lagows were fairly expensive, and then there was a discouragement with this machine for a tolerant amount.

I ride only 5 months, but a certain opinion was formed, I would like to share.

Always wanted a diesel wagon at 6 step mechanic, but VW / Audi / BMW is not affordable, I looked after meganu or lagoon, we have a lot in the Kaliningrad region. diesel versions In the body, the station wagon (due to the characteristics of customs clearance - the volume of less than 1.5 liters of customs is significantly cheaper than gasoline 1.6 or more). Unfortunately, they come here with decent, if not to say with huge runs, and twisted two times, in a rather eared state-eared state, and mine also managed to run on the area.

After the purchase, he drove on that, changed all belts, rollers, shafts, pumps, pumps, oil, filter and antifreeze, stepping suspension, brakes. The turbine and fuel in a good condition, the truth of the turbine will decently sweats with oil, but the oil has not been replaced from replacement until replaced - it was enough.

Then, along the way, the identified defects have already eliminated: for example, it took out a deaf knock on the left, after studying the forum of the Lagunovodov changed the left shock absorber - the knock was gone. Not burned lights rear strokeAgain, thanks to the forum, the defective sensor was calculated, changed - everything worked. What a bearing was buzzed when the speed set: 80 km / h began to push, passed 100km / h in a mosquito squeak. Frightened on the service, they say the box for the bulkhead. Again, the forum of the Lagunovodov, in all the signs buzzed the suspension bearing of the right intermediate shaft, changed, the hum disappeared :) at the same time he changed the oil in the box, the switching was softer, the fusion oil was like a black black, which again confirms that they confirms them in the tail in Europe And in the mane ...

By the way, here is the story: the chip key when buying was alone, in order to avoid the last key and turning the car to real estate, respectively, made another one: and the master reflated the old (that is, the Koj key turned out to be new), i.e. Now I can not be afraid that someone will take advantage of the key previously. As it turned out, it is not that a simple thing, I needed a pure key-freebank of a certain series, only the officials for a lot of money and another person took to reflash in Kalinirade. It didn't work out from the clue, I had to order a chip card disc chip-card (the same as the remaining key), plus the master was able to reflash the keys only new model Scanner, I had to wait a bit while everything would eat together. There was a pleasure in 8 tr. With work and chip-card, so better cards do not lose ...

Suspension is simple, front two levers, stabilizer. Behind two salent blocks beams, that's all the suspension, repairs for money tolerant. Dear ammortizers, the rear brake discs go along with integrated bearings, the replacement gets into a penny, the discs have not yet changed, removed the bore on the edges, changed the pads, the residual thickness is minimal, but even thousands of twenty, I think.

For comfort - on an uneven road (primer, blocking), the car is tough, after my Ford focus you can not feel comfortable, the soul is shaking. But everything changes on the track: the car goes like an iron on the board, rulitsya perfectly, the speed is practically no feeling, Ford Focus losing here in all positions. The turn of the turn is surprisingly small, although the car is not small.

By the engine: an amazing thing, although the volume is only 1.5 l / 110 hp, but the torque is decent, the car accelerates the same as quickly and on the first and on the sixth gear. On the city dynamics, the average, the large mass / inertia of the car affects, but everything is fine on the track: overtaking at a speed of 110-130 km / hour is not a problem, I don't go faster in principle, I consider it meaningless and dangerous. At the same time, the consumption of diesel engine: I personally have average flow Exactly 7l / 100km, when driving mainly in the city (percentage 60), the average speed of 28 km / h on-board computer. On the track on the sixth gear for cruising speed of 110 km / h consumption of 4.8 l / 100km, at 90 km / h - 4.0 l / 100km ... in this diesel out of competition. Corobka works fine, the truth is for dynamic driving It's more often to switch, great gear is happy - on 110 km / hour only 2,200 revolutions, the engine is practically not heard. Touching the turbines is felt with 1800 revolutions.

Healthy helps cruise control, cool thing. There is a built-in navigator, the previous owner has established fresh maps of the Kaliningrad region, Lithuania, Poland, and other neighboring countries, and with Russian voice acting, it works well, the only minus - the screen is not a touch, recruit the address with the help of a joystick for a long time and just infuriates: ( Magnitol reads mp3 but does not have a USB entrance, only stupid AUX.

The trunk is not the largest of the universal, strongly eats the volume sloping glass of the 5th door, but when the rear seats are addition, a smooth agent of decent capacity is formed. What is convenient, the seats are folded by pressing one button.

While the purchase is pleased, the only thing that scares, this is the technical complexity of the car, the stuffingness of its electronics in the most despite, given the modest financial capabilities, any serious breakdown Type of turbines or fuel (only nozzle on diesel cost more than 10 tr.).

1.5 DCI is a diesel four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger. Motor volume - 1.5 liters, and power, depending on the modification, can vary from 64 to 110 horsepower. Engine index - K9K. Released since 2001 and during this time some changes have undergone.

It is worth noting that this is one of the most popular turbo diesel engines created by the Renault-Nissan Alliance. This DVS is most popular in Europe, so on secondary market We can often see Urgent Renault and Nissans with such an engine. By the way, this unit is set for several more Mercedes.

From the obvious advantages of the motor - good thrust on the bottoms, relative economy of fuel. Of the minuses - poor susceptibility to the quality of diesel fuel, especially the Russian and maintenance requirements.

Indeed, that this DVS will serve for a long time and regularly needs to be followed. And this is changed motor oil Every 10,000 km of run or even earlier, while changing the timing belt - every 60,000 km and of course not overheating.

In responses, you can often find the following problems:

1) the failure of the TNVD. Therefore, it is not recommended to acquire a version with fuel system Dephi, which is very demanding about the quality of fuel, and if you fill down poorly, it will die quickly. Recommended to take with Siemens (Continental). Delphi go on versions with a small amount of horsepower. Before buying, specify this moment.

Still with the Siemens system usually go models with a 6-speed mechanical box Transmissions. Engines with 5-mortar usually from Delphi.

2) failure of the turbine. This occurs most often due to improper operation. As we know, the turbodiesel cannot be immediately jammed after the stop, and you need to give it a little work, for this there is a configured autorun system in alarms.

4) Turning rod inserts. It happens if you do not change the oil during and lengthen the intervals of the replacement. Change every 10,000 km and such a problem should not arise.

As a result, I will say that before buying a car with a 1.5 DCI engine, it is necessary to carefully check not only the body, suspension, legal purity, but also the motor itself, how it works, its mistakes to scan, find out how often the oil changed, whether there were problems and so on . Often there are 5-7 year old megans with a mileage of 60-80 thousand, this, unfortunately, not always truth, mileage could twist. You can check it from the dealer, unless of course the mileage was not deleted from the car.

Purchasing a car with DCI should be regularly changed oil, filters, hinged equipment - In general, everything that will be needed, and choose a refueling, where you pour a really high-quality dielary.

And it's not necessary to say that this DVS is bad or good, since each instance has its own history and care, if we talk about used options.

For reference: It is installed on Renault Megan, Klio, Scenic, Dasia, Duster, Nissan Cascai, Tiid and other models.

Small turboodiesels have already managed to conquer the hearts of millions of motorists. Their main advantages - affordable price and high efficiency, comparable with larger brethren. One of the first automakers to start the release of small diesel engines was Renault, which developed with Nissan's cooperation very popular 1.5 DCI. Today, many cars are equipped with this engine.

The smallest of the line of diesel engines Renault - force aggregate With the designation K9K debuted in the market in 2001. The eight-flaped four-cylinder engine with turbocharged and fuel supply type "Common Rail" was offered in several versions - with a capacity of 64 to 110 hp. The main differences between modifications are to equip the injectors, turbocharger, flywheel, etc. The advantages of the aggregate include: relatively high power And low fuel consumption - an average of about 6 liters per 100 km. Engine 1.5 DCI is widely used in cars Renault., Dacia and Nissan. In the period from 2003 to 2010, the Turbodiesel was installed on the Small SUZUKI Jimny SUV, and after the start of Renault's cooperation with Mercedes - and in the new A-class models, and in the Citan van (the same Renault Kangoo only with a characteristic star on the radiator grille).

Characteristic problems and malfunctions

The list of problems pursuing 1.5 DCI is quite large. One of the most serious and most common - malfunction of the system. As a rule, this is due to the use of low-quality fuel, which is not a french diesel. This is especially true of engines with Delphi nozzles, which may not withstand on poor diesel fuel and 10,000 km. The cost of one nozzle is about 8-12 thousand rubles. In modifications with a simple system and "normal" nozzles, you can save significantly by trying to restore their performance. In the case of piezoelectric nozzles, the only way out is only replacement.

The turbocharger on some copies can deliver trouble after 60 thousand km. Turbocharger used two types of fixed or variable geometry.

Sometimes there are cases of turning into the liners and the loogier of the pistons - due to poorly working nozzles. In addition, it is necessary to deal with habitual for diesel motors malfunctions of the EGR gas recycling recycling valve. In more powerful versions there are disadvantages with a two-headed flywheel.

Other typical problem For a modern diesel engine - a diesel filter that may require high costs. The cost of the new is better and not to ask, but prays to the troubles associated with it, bypass you. Sometimes the troubles are presented with electronics of engine operation: especially vulnerable puzzle pressure and shaft position sensors.

As can be seen from the review, potential problems With 1.5 DCI engine quite a lot. However, the overwhelming majority of them are associated with improper operation. To avoid further unnecessary and high costs, owners diesel cars It is worth compensating for gaps in their knowledge, due to the exploitation of only hopeless gasoline engines.

Conclusion

And yet, some consider 1.5 DCI rather risky choice. At the same time, most of the owners of the machines with these Turbodiesel are very satisfied with their acquisition and want to see 1.5 DCI under the hood and in the future. Before buying such a car, it is still worth estimated - how many kilometers per year have to get out. If the mileage is small, then more profitable will be a car with gasoline engine. Despite some flaws, in reliability 1.5 DCI is not inferior to most famous diesel engines, more eminent manufacturers.
